We won't show your information to any other third party unless it's required by law. Your details will be stored in a secure database.

If you become an employee, any information that you've submitted in your application (including any references that we've taken) will form part of your employee record. Unless you request otherwise, your details will be automatically deleted from our database after 12 months. You may request deletion prior to this by contacting the recruitment team.
